4 FEW SUGGESTIONS

M. Quad's "Talk with Boys.'1
All, my lad! I Just wish I was abou.
Ia years old and had the chances you
are daily throwing away.
What would I do?
Why, I'd post myself. For one thing,
I'd walk down to the depot and when a
locomotive brought in its train and went
off to the round-house I'd follow it anc
find out how it was made. I'd have s
| peep at every lever and crank and cog
| and wheel and rod. I'd know why and
how steam exerted it's power. I'd satisfy
myself why that boiler mounted on
wheels was able to pull and push.
When I left the round-house I'd go to 8
factory and overhaul a stationary engine
and see where the two differed. Then
I'd get hold of some railroad man and
pump him until I was posted even as to
the quantity Of oil used to run a locomo-
tive 100 miles.
It may not-be money in your pocket
20 know these things, but it will be food
for the mind. You cannot post yourself
zoo much. The mind is a book in which
there's always for another page.
Did you ever take a common door
lock apart2 Then you do not know that a
bit of a brass spring is the hidden mystery
which works both catch and bolt. With
out this Insignificant tri1e, costing less
than a penny, the lock, costing from
thirty cents to a dollar of itself, would
be only so much old iron. You
have opened and shut a poeket-knife
thousands of times, but it never occurred
TO you that a spring, acting on different
principle, holds the blade shut Or open.
You see a paper-hanger at work, but
you are ignorant of the fact hat he
must begin his work in one corner of the
room by a plumb line, Or he will not
make a good job of his papering. You
Ant tell whether a horseshoe is put On
9Th six or ten nails. You never
counted the spokes in the wheel of a
wagon. Yea never counted tbs bricks
which a ~hodearrier can shoulder up the
ladder. You don't know whether a COW
has teeth in both jaws OF only in one.
f! You don't know that a laundering De-
troit lad 10 years old careiessly put to-
gether the pattern of ice-tongs now used
all over the country, and let a MAI steal
his idea away and make a fortune out Of
it. II he had been an observing boy he
would have seen and realized the value
of his action. He went about picking
up seds and stones, and when offered
ten cents for his crude tongs he let
them so with kle feeling that he had
made a good thing.

War Preparations in France.

Both Paris and France are heavily taxed
and France has the biggest national debt in
the world. It is more than five billions of
dollars and the government continues to
spend money as though all of its citizens
were rich, and it had a large bank account 10
its credit. This year it made a new loan of
more than ST 900, 600, and it is constantly in
creasing its army and internal improvement
expenses. Since the war with Germany a
Paris guide book states that it has spent
5000, 100000 on war material alone, and its
army amounts on peace fooeig % about
800, 900 men; 1t has 200 brigadier generals,
and in case of a war it can muster over 4, 000-
coo men; of these one-half are trained soldiers
and only 100000 of the whole are wholly I'M
trained.
War preparation goes on perpetually in
France, and fight with Germany is among
the expectations of many Frenchmen The
French hate the Germans and they have a
larger army and more guns than the Germans
They have shown themselves good fighters,
though they don't seem to have staying powers
and the good physiques Of their enemies Paris
has been rafortified, and that more strongly
than ever, and they are spending great deal
to build up their navy. Over $40 0O0, coo were

How wall street is Guarded.

Years ago it often happened that clerks or
runners of banks were robbed in Wall street
or sonlwhere in that region. 1t never happens
now. The reason is that the strictest watch
is kept over the financial region by the
shrewdest OF detectives, who have their head
quarters in a room set apart for them in the
stock exchange Professional thieves are not
allowed in Wall street. When thief wishes
to visit that golden thoroughfare, even for an
unobjectionable purpose, he has to apply for
permission to Superintendent Murray, and l
believe it is seldom granted. This is rather
primitive law; it sounds rather Russian, but
it serves the purpose.

RUSSIA'S VAST CAVALRY FORCES.
The Hordes She Can Call Ont from Her
Steppes and Asiatic Provinces.
81. Ahr,. .in&in hon

The Hordes She Can Call Out from Her
Steppes and Asiatic Provinces.
Russia, always rather Asiatic than Euro
pean, rather nomad than industrial, attaches
secondary Importance to infantry in the
mechanism of warfare. She proposes to make
cavalry all that other powers would wish to
make infantry, but much more formidable
also, seeing that trained cavalry can move
with rapidity impossible TO infantry. Grad
ually she is converting her whole military
power into mounted forces; and she has been
SO earnest in perfecting her army that, with
out counting her territorial reserves, she csSl
already mobilize J, 4S3.000 men. This force,
clasSed in two vast divisions, includes no less
than !. 80 squadrons of cavairy-G0s squad
rons for tie first and SD for the second.
Prussia at her greatest extremity could only
oppose these 1850 squadrons with SO squad
rons of German horse.
But Russia could still call ont cavalry. and
admirable cavalry, by tie hundred thousand,
from her stenpes AMI her ASiatic provinces;
all the horles are ready to obey n signal and
are being trained to Use repeating rifles. 1t
i believed bv the writer rel0red TO that,
however large their military figures appear
on paper. it would be all that Austria and
Germany together could ROW Do 70 oppose
Russian infantry with an equal mass Of in
fantry, while they could rot oppose the very
first wave of Russian cavalry with more than
half the number OF western horsemea.
II this view OF the situation be trustworthy,
the moment Of terrific struggle, upon which
the very existence Of western nationali.irs
depends may not be very far OF. But it Is
not improbable that the foreign reviewer has
undercStnl2ted German resources and given
insufficient attention TO the comparative
